Meet the Founders
The First Patrol Family
We run the missions on our own family, build the tools we wished existed, and put the whole thing on camera — wins, hard conversations, and all.
Below are some of the real missions we've completed together — the proof that this is a life we actually live, not a system we sell.
Formulating the Patrol Family Playbook
Some of our completed missions.
Achieve together
Missions: Excel in ballet, lemonade sales, homeschooling, and lego robotics.
Adventure together
Mission: Spend seven months worldschooling while dad works remotely.
Keep Traditions together
Missions: Sheppards dinners on Christmas Eve and epic homemade Halloween costumes every year.
Learn together
Mission: Support our aspiring artist.
Remember together
Mission: Make an extra-deliberate effort reconnecting with our China roots through family members we see less often.
Serve together
Mission: Sell dumplings to raise money for an elephant sanctuary. (We later discovered a different non-profit making a greater impact saving Cambodian lives from lingering landmines — and donated the money to them instead.)
Work together
Mission: Spend the week at Grandmother's beach house curating the most impressive clay baby collection ever assembled.
The channel
Watch the missions in practice.
Real missions, on camera, in a real family's real week. This is where the demonstration lives — and where you'll see whether any of it actually holds up.
